put sheets of tsrred paper between the
layers Of WOODEN goods. Another enemy
of faruels is the washerWomen, and
often the clothes OF last Year are so hard
| and small from shrinkage as to be use
less; if the mistress can give her personal
attention to the washing Of these there
will be time and money saved
Many directions are given as to
best way, but it matters little
whether the water be warm or cold, so it
is not hot, and it be of the same tempera-
tuTe throughout the entire process. If
soap is used it should not be rubbed on
but 3 suds made for every change of
water. Borax and ammonia are prefer
able to soap, especially in washing
blankets. II these be put in q tub of
water with borax over night the next
morning they will require but little labor
| to cleanse them. Hard wringing should
be avoided. II is better from time to
time to shake the water out. Another
| thing to guard against is much rubbing.
II converts flannel into felt, sDd the finer
the quality the more danger of rendering
il unphable.
However much trouble is entsiled, no
prudent mother will fail to see that her
! little ones are we'll protected by an en-
| tire covering Of their bodies with WOODEN
fabrics from the many changes Of Vari-
able climate.
Blankets form the best covering for q
bed, being light as well as warm; they
ere also much more heslthful than heavy
comforts, which retain as we'll as sbsorb
al the exhalstiQns Of the body. Beds and
all kinds of bed coverings should be fre-
quently and thoroughly aired. Old Sol is
wonderful health dispenser, and in no
way are his rays more efficecious than in
purifying our couches.
October ushers in the season for marry
ing, ard giving in marriage,
and from now until after the holt
days the mamma with manageable
daughters will reasonably expect to have
her skill exercised ingivipg entertainments
connected with the season. Removed,
as many are from the large centers where
efficient caterers are to be found VINO are
thoroughly competent to assume the
whole responsibility of the table pre-
psration, menu within the reach of the
the less skilful will be fully appreciated.
The following simple arrangement seems
to meet such requirements, land may be of
use to some of the readers of the "Lsdies'
Column" It is the menu furnished for
recent wedding dinner. On the plate of
each guest was card bearing the silver
ed initials of the bride and groom and
handicapped of exquisite flowers.

While this is by no means extrsvegant
in variety, the exquisite taste displayed in
decoration and serving made 8 mos.
charming and delightsome feast.
Great attention is now paid to table
ware. The day Of c0lored glass and painted
china is nearing the setting.i Glass is now
valued Tor IT'S purity and thinness and
crystal is fast supplenting plated ware in
popular favor. Flowers and ferns can
be made TO give the necessary bit of color |
to table set with care, each article |
being distinguished more for its |
fneness or artistic shape than |
for gaudy tints which soon become |
wearisome to the eye. Never, perhaps, |
in its history was exquisite napery more |
priced than now, and neither labor nor |
expense is spared to render it beautiful. |
Table cloths and napkins are embroid- |
